METHODS FOR WASHING POULTRY BIRDS DURING THE
PROCESSING WITH ACID COMPOSITIONS
PEROXICARBOXÍLICO DE CADENA MEDIA
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to methods for reducing microbial conlamination in poultry, or on surfaces used in the processing of poultry, using compositions including medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid, and to the compositions. The methods include the application of a medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid composition to the poultry or to the surfaces.
Background of the Invention
All poultry carcasses that enter the processing environment are contaminated by microorganisms, some with pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella. Fecal matter and dirt are the main sources of this contamination. As a result of such contamination, the poultry typically is washed at any of the different steps during processing to convert a live bird into an edible food product. The washing is intended to remove dirt, giblets, blood, viscera, other debris, and poultry microbes.
Removing or reducing microbes aids the safe storage and consumption of poultry although in many existing washing procedures failures significantly reduce the microbial load on the poultry. The potential for the skin of the poultry to become cross-contaminated is made worse by the ability of all types of microorganisms to adhere within only 15 seconds of contact. Once in the processing environment, a significant number of channels can be cross-contaminated with pathogens during handling, blanching, mechanical processing, and cooling. Current methods for many of these procedures also fail to significantly reduce the microbial load in poultry. The water used for washing or these other procedures is often used repeatedly over time, which provides yet another opportunity to disperse, rather than reduce, the microbial load in poultry. For example, water becomes contaminated with organic matter and microbes from poultry, and organic matter provides nutrients for microbial growth in water over time or through additional uses. These microbes can grow and contaminate additional poultry and processing equipment. In particular, water left untreated in a submersion bath tends to decontaminate the poultry at the beginning of a change but contaminates the poultry later in the change. In fact, this water has been identified as a potential source of contamination of coliforms, E. Coli and Salmonella or cross-contamination during the processing of poultry. Salmonella and other microorganisms are generally unwanted for poultry, water, and can cause accumulation on all contact surfaces with water from a silt or a biolayer, which requires frequent washing to remove it. Microbial contamination or cross contamination of poultry through water continues to be the main concern of poultry processors and end users. Although washing, chilling, or heating the poultry carcasses with water can potentially reduce contamination, the processing water can also serve as a source of contamination or cross-contamination. If pathogenic microorganisms in the water are not removed, inactivated or otherwise controlled, they can be dispersed to other poultry, potentially contaminating them. In addition, handling or processing steps that accumulate many individual parts of poultry tend to increase the risk that a single contaminated item can contaminate the entire lot. Dipping or spraying poultry in fresh water can help reduce surface microorganism populations. However, sterilization with repeated washing, even with sterile water, may not be achieved because the microorganisms within the tissues of the poultry remain in place.
The addition of antimicrobial agents to the process wash water can inactivate the vegetative bacterial cells in water, helping to avoid contamination. Ideally, an antimicrobial agent or compound used in such a system will have various important properties in addition to its antimicrobial efficacy. The compound or agent must not have a technical effect on the final food product. The residual activity implies the presence of a layer of antimicrobial material which will continue to have an antimicrobial effect which may require an additional rinsing of the food product. The antimicrobial agent can also be odorless to prevent the transfer of unwanted odors to food materials. If direct contact with food occurs, the antimicrobial agent may also be composed of food additive materials that will not affect the healthiness of the food and should not affect humans if accidental ingestion results. In addition, the antimicrobial agent may be composed of innocuous ingredients naturally present, which are chemically compatible with the environment and do not cause concern for toxic residues in the water. In the past, flushing of poultry or processing waters has generally been treated with chlorinated compounds, organic acids, acidified sodium chlorite, trisodium phosphate or ozone. Generally, these materials are effective in reducing microbial contamination in poultry. However, the utilization rate of these antimicrobials is very high because they are not effective at low concentrations or tend to be consumed quickly due to the high organic load included with poultry. Excessive chlorination of water for food processing with hypochlorite has prompted concerns about the production of toxic or carcinogenic organochlorine compounds and other by-products. In addition, the efficacy - of conventional antimicrobial agents on the surface of poultry is often limited. For example, it has been reported that, generally, concentrations of more than 4% by weight of organic acids or from 5 to 10% by weight of trisodium phosphate are required to effectively reduce the contamination of poultry skin by S. typhimurium. . Antimicrobial agents such as peroxides or lactic acid can result in discoloration, whitening, or swelling of the tissue of the poultry. The EPA approved a composition based on peroxyacetic acid in 1996 to control microbial growth and reduce the formation of biolayer in the transport of fruits and vegetables or process waters. From a historical perspective, peroxyacetic acid has been used to sanitize food contact surfaces, aseptic packaging and sterilization by cooling medical devices. In addition to these biocidal properties, the decomposition by-products friendly to the environment and the good stability of the presence of organic matter helped this technology to gain acceptance among fruit and vegetable packers, handlers and processors. Such conventional peroxycarboxylic acid compositions typically include short chain peroxycarboxylic acids or mixtures of short chain peroxycarboxylic acids and medium chain peroxycarboxylic acids (see, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 5,200,189, 5,314,687, 5,409,713, 5,437,868, 5,489,434, 6,674,538, 6,010,729, .6, 111, 963 and 6,514,556). However, a need remains for improved antimicrobial compositions for addition in waters used for the washing or processing of poultry.
Compendium of the Invention
The present invention relates to methods for reducing microbial contamination in poultry, or on surfaces used in the processing of poultry, using compositions including medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid, and to the compositions. The methods include application of medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid to the poultry or the surface. The compositions and methods of the invention provide an antimicrobial agent useful in water for the washing or processing of poultry., which has a high degree of antimicrobial efficacy, and which is safely ingested by humans while not imposing unacceptable environmental incompatibility. The compositions of the invention and other medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid antimicrobial compositions can be employed in methods for reducing microbial contamination in poultry and water used to wash or process poultry. These methods include the application of a medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid antimicrobial composition to the poultry during processing, for example in an amount and time sufficient to reduce the microbial population. The composition can be applied by methods that include submerging, rinsing, spraying, or air cooling in the poultry, or a combination of these routes. During processing, the composition can be applied to the complete poultry, dismembered, divided into portions, or pitted. In one embodiment, the method includes recovering a medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid antimicrobial composition before being applied to poultry. The recovered composition can be treated by adding a sufficient amount of peroxycarboxylic acid to produce a recycled antimicrobial composition of medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid. The recycled medium chain composition includes a reduced level of microbes, such as human pathogens, and can be disposed of safely. Alternatively, the recycled medium chain composition can be applied to the poultry during processing. In one embodiment, the medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid added to form the recycled composition is formed by adding a concentrated medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid composition to form a composition with suitable levels of medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid antimicrobial use. In one embodiment, water (e.g., the medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid antimicrobial composition) that has been used to wash the poultry can be recovered and recycled to wash poultry or the apparatus or plants used to transport or process poultry. the poultry. In one embodiment, the method for recycling the water for flushing poultry includes the use of wash water recovered from one or more washing procedures or a previous washing procedure such as the processing of the poultry. In one embodiment, the method for recycling poultry washing water includes the use of wash water recovered from one or more washing procedures to wash the apparatuses in the processing of poultry, plants or parts of the plant itself. . In one embodiment, the antimicrobial composition of the present invention includes medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid, solubilizers, oxidizing agents, and acidulants. Such a composition can include about 0.0005 to about 5% by weight of medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid; about 0.001 to about 10% by weight of medium chain carboxylic acid; about 0 to about 99.99% by weight of water, and about 0.001 to about 80% by weight of solubilizer effective to solubilize the medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid and the medial chain carboxylic acid. The composition may include a microemulsion and / or about 2 or more parts by weight of medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid per 7 parts by weight of medium chain carboxylic acid.

As used herein, the term "microbe" is synonymous with the microorganism. As used herein, the term "poultry" refers to the forms of any bird kept, raised, or domesticated to use its meat or its eggs, and includes chicken, turkey, ostriches, woodland hen, pigeon, guinea, pheasant, quail, duck, goose, emu, or similar and the eggs of these birds.
Poultry includes whole poultry, sectioned, processed, cooked or raw poultry or covers all forms of poultry meat, by-products, and by-products. Poultry meat includes muscle, fat, organs, skin, bones and body fluids and similar components that make up the animal. Forms of animal flesh include, for example, the complete part of the meat of the animal, alone or in combination with other ingredients. Typical forms include, for example, processed poultry meat, such as pickled poultry meat, sectioned and shaped products, minced products, finely chopped products and whole products. As used herein, the phrase "surface for processing poultry" refers to a surface of a tool, a machine, a piece of equipment, a structure, a building, or something similar that is used as part of the poultry processing activity, preparation, or storage. Examples of surfaces for processing poultry include equipment for processing or preparing poultry, articles or utensils for processing poultry, and floors, walls, or fixed structures in which the processing of birds of poultry occurs. corral. The tools or tools for poultry processing include the stunning apparatus, razor, steel for sharpening, stone for sharpening, covers and straps to store the knives, saw for meat, knife, conveyor, bucket, work platform, barrel or tank for boiling, casserole, barrel or system to boil water, scraper, table or platform to scrape, thermometer, hook, bleeding hook, blood collection tray, wash tray, bucket to wash hands, rack, table, tank , cutting table, carton, deposit, wrapping table, paper or plastic bags or pouches for wrapping poultry, handgrip, metal mask, safety gloves, boning apron, safety apron, and the like.

As used herein, the phrase "densified fluid" refers to a fluid in a critical, subcritical, near critical, or supercritical state. The fluid is usually a gas under standard conditions at an atmosphere of pressure and 0 ° C. As used herein, the phrase "supercritical fluid" refers to a dense gas that remains above its critical temperature, the temperature at which it can not be liquefied by pressure. Supercritical fluids are typically less viscous and diffuse more easily than liquids. In one embodiment, a dense fluid is at, above, or slightly below its critical point. As used herein, the phrase "critical point" is the point of transition at which the liquid and gaseous states of one substance combine within the other and represent the combination of the critical temperature and the critical pressure of a substance. The critical pressure is exactly enough pressure to cause the appearance of two phases at the critical temperature. Critical temperature and pressure have been reported for numerous organic and inorganic compounds and for various elements. As used herein, the terms "near critical" fluid or "subcritical" fluid refer to a fluid material that is typically below the critical temperature of a supercritical fluid, but remains in a fluid and denser state than a typical gas due to the effects of pressure in the fluid. In one embodiment, a subcritical or near-critical fluid is at a temperature and / or pressure exactly below its critical point. For example, a subcritical fluid close to the critical can remain below its critical temperature but above its critical pressure, below its critical pressure but above its critical temperature, or below its critical temperature and pressure. The terms close to the critical and subcritical do not refer to material in its ordinary gaseous or liquid state. As used herein, the term "about" which modifies the amount of an ingredient in the compositions of the invention or used in the methods of the invention refers to the variation in numerical quantity that may occur, for example, through of a typical measurement and liquid handling procedures used to make concentrates or use solutions in the real world; through an inadvertent error in these procedures; through differences in the manufacture, source, or purity of the ingredients used to make compositions or carry out the methods; and similar. The term "roughly" also encompasses amounts that differ due to different equilibrium conditions for a composition that result from a particular mixture of onset. Whether or not they are modified by the term "approximately", the claims include equivalents to the amounts. The differentiation of the antimicrobial activity "-cida" or "-static", definitions that describe the degree of efficacy, and in official laboratory protocols to measure this effectiveness are considerations to understand the relevance of antimicrobial agents and compositions. The antimicrobial compositions can effect two types of microbial cell damage. The first is a lethal, irreversible action resulting in complete destruction or incapacitation of microbial cells. The second type of cell damage is reversible, so that if the organism was delivered free of the agent, it can multiply again. The one mentioned first is called microbicide and the last one is microbiostatic. A purifier and a disinfectant are, by definition, agents that provide the antimicrobial or microbiocidal activity. In contrast, a preservative is generally described as an inhibitory or microbiostatic composition. For the purpose of this patent application, successful microbial reduction is achieved when microbial populations are reduced by at least about 50%, or by significantly more than what is achieved by a water wash. Large reductions in the microbial population provide higher levels of protection for processed poultry products. As used herein, a composition or combination "consisting essentially" of certain ingredients refers to a composition that includes those ingredients lacking any ingredient that materially affects the basic and novel characteristics of the composition or method. The phrase "consisting essentially of" excludes the claimed methods and compositions: a coupling agent; an ingredient that can not be used in food products or in the washing, handling or processing of food, in accordance with US government rules or regulations; and / or a peroxycarboxylic acid or carboxylic acid with 10 or more carbon atoms; unless the ingredient is specifically listed after the phrase.
Poultry Processing Using Medium Chain Peroxycarboxylic Acid Compositions The concentrate and compositions of use of the present invention can be used for a variety of antimicrobial purposes, for example or to form systems for processing and / or washing poultry based in water The present compositions and methods can be used for the processing of poultry and / or poultry meat in any step from gathering the live birds to packing the final product. For example, the present compositions and methods can be employed for washing, rinsing, chilling, or scaling of poultry carcases, parts of poultry carcasses, or poultry organs to reduce contamination of these elements with microorganisms. that cause putrefaction / decomposition, and pathogenic microorganisms. Prior to processing, live poultry are generally transported and collected at the beginning of the processing line. Poultry can be washed before entering the processing line. Processing typically begins with the sacrifice of the birds, for example, by electrical stunning, followed by cutting the neck and bleeding. A first wash step, known as blanching (eg scalding by submerging or dipping) may follow a bleed and loosen the adherence of the feathers on the skin of the poultry. Blanching by submersion can be completed according to the methods and using compositions of the present invention. Scalding by submersion may include immersing a stunned and bled bird within a hot scalding water bath or an antimicrobial liquid composition, for example, the temperature from about 50 to about 80 ° C or about 50 to about 60 ° C. . The liquid antimicrobial composition in the bath can be agitated, subjected to sound application, or pumped to increase the contact of the composition with the channel. Blanching can be conducted in a scald tank or tray, which contains the scalding liquid with sufficient depth to completely submerge the poultry carcass. The channel can be transported through the tank through a conveyor at a speed that provides a few minutes in the blanching liquid. According to the present invention, the blanching bath can include a medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid antimicrobial composition, for example, a composition of the present invention. In one embodiment, the hot scald bath contains a medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid antimicrobial composition with about 2 to about 50 ppm, about 10 to about 200 ppm, or about 10 to about 20 ppm peroxycarboxylic, and additional ingredient amounts such as is described in the present. The scalding bath may also include one or more of the additional ingredients allowed in scalding baths. After blanching by submersion, the poultry may be picked, rinsed, and optionally scorched before the next washing process. This second washing process is generally known as "flushing", "New York plucking", or post-rinse rinse, which flushes residual hair follicles and feathers! The plucking rinse may include spraying the chosen channels with water, for example, at a temperature of about 5 to about 30 ° C. To increase contact with the channels, the antimicrobial compositions in the spray water can be applied at high pressures, flow rates, temperatures, or with ultrasonic energy agitation. The flushing rinse can be completed with a washing apparatus such as a washing or spray booth with fixed or movable spray nozzles. Alternatively, a "flood" rinse or a liquid submersion wash can be used immediately after selecting. In accordance with the present invention, the rinse was selected or the plucking rinse can be completed using a medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid antimicrobial composition, for example a composition of the present invention. For example, the plucking rinse may employ a medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid antimicrobial composition with about 2 to about 500, about 10 to about 200, about 50 to about 300 ppm, or about 100 to about 200 ppm peroxycarboxylic acid, and additional ingredients as described herein. The plucking rinse can be a final washing step before dismembering the poultry. The dismemberment may include the removal of the head, legs, gutting, neck removal, in any order commonly used in the processing of poultry. Washing can also occur during dismemberment. The dismembered and gutted poultry can then be subjected to a washing step known as bird flushing from the inside out (IOBW). The flushing of birds from the inside out washes the inside (body cavity) and outside of the bird. The flushing of birds from the inside out may include rinsing the interior and exterior surfaces of the channel with water currents or floods, for example, at a temperature of about 5 to about 30 ° C. To increase the contact of the channel with the antimicrobial compositions in the spray water can be applied at high pressures, flow rates, temperatures, or with agitation or ultrasonic energy. The flushing of birds from the inside out can be completed with an apparatus that floods the bird's canal with a flow of water in the internal cavity and on the outside of the canal. Such an apparatus may include a series of fixed spray nozzles for applying antimicrobial compositions to the outside of the bird and to a rinse or bayonet probe that enters and applies the antimicrobial composition to the body cavity. According to the present invention, the flushing of birds from the inside out can be completed by employing a medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid antimicrobial composition, for example, a composition of the present invention. For example, the flushing of birds from the inside out can employ a medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid antimicrobial composition with from about 2 to about 500, about 10 to about 200, about 20 to about 200 ppm, or about 50 or about 100 ppm of peroxycarboxylic acid, and additional ingredients as described herein. After the bird washing from the inside out, both the inside and the outside of the bird can be subjected to additional decontamination. This additional decontamination can be completed in part by a step commonly known as antimicrobial spray rinse, purifying rinse, or finishing rinse. Such rinsing may include spraying the inner and outer surfaces of the channel with water, for example, at a temperature of about 5 to about 30 ° C. To increase contact with the channels, the antimicrobial compositions in the spray water can be applied using fixed or articulated nozzles, at high pressures, with flow rates, temperatures, with agitation or ultrasonic energy, or with rotating brushes. The spray rinse can be completed with an apparatus such as a spray booth with fixed or mobile spray nozzles. The nozzles create a mist, vapor, or spray that makes contact with the surfaces of the channel. In accordance with the present invention, the antimicrobial spray rinse, purifying rinse, or terminating rinse may be completed by employing a medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid antimicrobial composition, for example, a composition of the present invention. For example, the spray rinse may employ a medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid antimicrobial composition with about 2 to about 500, about 10 to about 200, about 50 to about 300 ppm, or about 100 to about 200 ppm peroxycarboxylic acid, and additional ingredients as described herein. After the spray rinse, the bird may be ready for packaging or for additional processing or cooling specifically cooling by submersion or air cooling. Submersion chills wash and cool the bird to maintain the quality of the meat. Submersion cooling may include complete immersion of the channel in water or muddy snow, for example, at a temperature of less than about 5 ° C, until the temperature of the channel reaches water or muddy snow. The cooling of the channel can be completed by submersion in a simple bath, in two or more stages, each at a lower temperature. Water can be applied with agitation or ultrasonic energy to increase contact with the channel. The submersion cooling can be completed by an apparatus such as a tank containing the cooling liquid with sufficient depth of liquid to submerge the poultry carcass channel. The channel can be transported through the cooler by several mechanisms, such as a feeder hole or a sliding base conveyor. Submersion cooling can also be completed by pulling the channels in a cascade of cold water. In accordance with the present invention, the submersion cooling can be completed by employing a medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid antimicrobial composition, for example, a composition of the present invention. For example, the submersion cooling may employ a medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid antimicrobial composition with from about 2 to about 500, about 10 to about 200, about 2 to about 100 ppm, or about 2 to about 30 ppm of peroxycarboxylic acid, and additional ingredients as described herein. Like cooling by submersion, cooling by air, or cryogenic cooling freeze the bird to retain the quality of the meat. Air cooling can be more effective in decontaminating birds, since air typically can not dissolve, suspend, or wash contaminants. Air cooling with a gas containing an antimicrobial agent can, however, reduce the burden of microbes, and others, contaminants in the bird. Air cooling may include the enclosure of the channel of a chamber having a temperature below about 5 ° C until the channel is cooled. Air cooling can be completed using a cryogenic fluid or gas as a blanket or as a spray. According to the present invention, air cooling can be completed by employing a medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid antimicrobial composition, for example, a composition of the present invention. For example, air-cooling compositions can include a medium-chain peroxycarboxylic acid antimicrobial composition or as a densified fluid. After cooling, the bird may be subjected to additional processing steps including post-chill submersion, post-chilled dew, heavy, quality grading, distribution, division, deboning, and the like. Further processing may also include methods or compositions according to the present invention for washing with medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid compositions. For example, it may be advantageous to wash the poultry portions, such as legs, breasts, wings and the like, formed by the division of the bird. Such portions form or reveal new flesh, skin, or bone surfaces that can be subjected to contamination and benefit from the treatment of medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid antimicrobial compositions. Similarly, deboning the poultry carcass or a portion of the poultry carcass can expose additional areas of meat or bone for microbial contamination. Washing the boneless poultry carcass or a portion with a medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid composition can advantageously reduce said contamination. In addition, during any further processing, boneless meat can also come into contact with microbes, for example, on contaminated surfaces. Washing the boneless meat with medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid compositions can reduce this contamination. The washing may be completed by spraying, dipping, tumbling, or a combination thereof, or by applying the gaseous antimicrobial composition or as a densified fluid. In the usable secondary products of the poultry include heart, liver, gizzard (for example, offal), neck, legs, and the like. These are usually collected later in processing, and sold as food products. Of course, microbial contamination of such food products is not desired. Thus, these side products can also be washed with a medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid composition in methods of the present invention. Typically, by-products can be washed after being harvested from the poultry carcass and before packing. They can be washed by submersion or spray, or transported in a gutter that includes the antimicrobial composition. They can be contacted with an antimicrobial composition according to the invention in a giblet cooler or in an ice cooler.
The poultry, poultry products, poultry portions, poultry by-products, or the like can be packaged before being sent for further processing, to another processor, within the store, or to the consumer. Any poultry can be washed with a water-based medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid antimicrobial composition, which can then be removed (eg, drained, blown, or absorbed) from the poultry. In certain circumstances the humidity of the poultry before packing is disadvantageous. In such circumstances, a densified gas or fluid form of the antimicrobial composition of the peroxycarboxylic acid can be used to reduce the microbial load of the poultry. Such a gaseous composition can be employed in a variety of known processes for exposing the poultry to gas before or during packing, such as a modified atmosphere packing. The advantageous stability of medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid compositions in such methods, which includes the presence of poultry waste or debris, makes these compositions competitive with chlorinated compounds that are cheaper, less stable, and potentially toxic. The embodiments of the methods of the present invention include the agitation or application of sound of the composition of use, particularly when a concentrate is added to the water to make the composition of use. In one embodiment, the present method includes water systems that have some agitation, spray, or other mixed solution. The poultry products can be contacted with the compositions of the invention effective to result in a significantly greater reduction than what is achieved by washing with water, or at least a reduction of 50%, at least a reduction of 90%. %, or at least a 99% reduction in the resident microbial preparation. The present methods may employ a certain minimum contact time of the composition with the poultry for the appearance of a significant antimicrobial effect. The contact time may vary with the concentration of the composition of use, the method of application of the composition of use, the temperature of the composition of use, or the amount of dirt in the poultry, the number of microorganisms in the poultry, or similar. In one embodiment, the exposure time is at least about 5 to about 15 seconds.
Spraying Poultry A method of the present method for washing poultry uses a pressure spray of the medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid composition. During the application of the spray solution with the poultry products, the surface of poultry products can be moved with mechanical action, for example, agitated, floated, brushed, etc. Agitation can be done by physical scrubbing of the poultry product. Through the action of the spray solution under pressure, through sonication or another method. Agitation increases the effectiveness of the spray solution by killing microorganisms, perhaps due to better exposure to the solution within fissures or small colonies containing the microorganism. The spray solution, before application, can be heated to a temperature of about 15 to 20 ° C or about 20 to 60 ° C to increase efficiency. Spray application can be completed using a manual spray application rod, an automatic spray of poultry products moving through a production line using multiple spray heads to ensure full contact, or other device Dew. An automatic spray application involves the use of a spray booth. The spray booth substantially confines the sprayed compositions within the booth parameter. The production line moves the poultry products through the entrance into the spray booth where the poultry products are sprayed on all external surfaces with the spray inside the cabin. After complete material coverage and draining of poultry products inside the cabin, the poultry products can then leave the cabin in a completely treated way. The spray booth may include pressure jets which are used to apply the antimicrobial compositions of the invention. These steam jets can be used in combination with chilled water to ensure that the treatment that reaches the surfaces of poultry is less than 65 ° C, or less than 60 ° C. The temperature of the spray in the poultry products can ensure that the poultry product is not substantially altered (cooked) by the temperature of the spray. The spray pattern can be virtually any spray pattern used.
Immersion of Poultry During the processing of poultry products, the poultry product can be immersed in a tank containing a quantity of washing solution. The washing solution can be stirred to increase the efficiency of the solution and the speed at which the solution reduces the microorganisms that accompany the poultry products. Agitation may be obtained by conventional methods, including ultrasound, air bubble ventilation through the solution, by mechanical methods, such as strainers, paddles, brushes, liquid jet pumps, or combinations of these methods. The washing solution can be heated to increase the efficiency of the solution to kill the microorganisms. In one embodiment, the poultry products can be immersed in wash solutions after the poultry products have been gutted and before the cooling process such as a cooling tank or a cooling water spray. In one embodiment, the poultry products can be submerged in the post-chill washing compositions.
Treatment of Poultry with Foam In another alternative embodiment of the present invention, the poultry products can be treated with a foam version of the composition. The foam can be prepared by mixing the foaming surfactants with the washing solution at the time of use. The foaming surfactants may be nonionic, anionic or cationic in nature. Examples of useful types of surfactants include, but are not limited to the following: alcohol ethoxylates, alcohol ethoxylate carboxylate, amine oxides, alkyl sulfates, alkyl ether sulfate, sulfonates, quaternary ammonium compounds, alkyl sacsines, betaines and alkyl amides. The foaming surfactants can be mixed at the time of use with washing solution. At the levels of the foaming agent use solution it is from about 50 ppm to about 2.0% by weight. At the time of use, compressed air may be injected into the mixture, then applied to the surface of the poultry products through a foam application device such as a skimmer tank or a suction skimmer mounted on the wall.
Gel Treatment for Poultry In another alternative embodiment of the present invention, the poultry products can be treated with a thickened or gelled version of the composition. In the thickened or gelled state the wash solution remains in contact with the surface of the poultry products for longer periods of time, and thereby increasing the antimicrobial efficacy. The thickened or gelled solution will also adhere to the vertical surfaces. The composition or washing solution can be thickened or gelled using existing technologies such as: xanthan gum, polymeric thickeners, cellulose thickeners or the like. Bar micelle-forming systems such as amine oxides and anionic counterions can also be used. The thickeners or agents formed from gel can be used either in the concentrated product or by mixing with the washing solution at the time of use. Typical use levels of thickeners or gelling agents range from about 100 ppm to about 10% by weight.
Light Treatment for Poultry In another alternative embodiment of the present invention, the poultry products may be exposed to activating light source (or other electromagnetic radiation) following the application of wash solution. The activating light (or other electromagnetic radiation) can improve the antimicrobial efficacy of the wash solution. The light can be ultraviolet light, infrared light, visible light, or a combination thereof. Other forms of electromagnetic radiation include radar waves and microwaves.
Water Processing for Washing Poultry Washing poultry can use large volumes of water, or another carrier. Water for flushing poultry can be used more than once (recycled), provided that the water can be treated in such a way that it does not transfer unwanted microbes to the poultry that is to be washed with the recycled water from washed. One way to prevent the transfer of these unwanted microbes is to reduce the microbial load of the recycled wash water by adding a mixture of peroxycarboxylic acids. For example, if the fluid to be recycled is water based and lacks any peroxycarboxylic acid, a concentrated medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid composition can be added resulting in an effective antimicrobial concentration of peroxycarboxylic acid in the fluid to be recycled. Alternatively, if the fluid to be recycled already includes or has included a peroxycarboxylic acid, an added medium-chain peroxycarboxylic acid composition can be added to increase the concentration of peroxycarboxylic acid to an effective antimicrobial level. It may be that the peroxycarboxylic acid in the solution to be recycled has been totally depleted in which case more of the medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid composition is added. In some circumstances, the water that is going to be recycled includes a substantial load of organic matter or microbes. If this is the case, the water will be inadequate for recycling. However, if the water is to be recycled, the operator adds a sufficient amount of the medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid composition to provide an effective antimicrobial amount of peroxycarboxylic acid after a certain amount is consumed by the organic load or microbes already present. . In this way, the recycled fluid can be used with an antimicrobial effect. Routine tests can be used to determine levels of peroxycarboxylic acid, or organic load. In each case, the method of recycling the poultry washing water includes recovering the poultry washing water, adding a composition including medium chain peroxycarboxylic acids, and reusing the poultry washing water. of farmyard for the washing of poultry, for example, as previously described. The flushing water of the poultry can be recovered from the poultry processing steps including scalding by immersion, plucking rinsing, flushing the bird from the inside out, flushing, and submersion cooling. The methods for recovering the wash water from these steps are known to those experienced in the washing of poultry and / or processing techniques. The wash water can also be cast, filtered, diluted, or otherwise cleaned and processed during recycling. In one embodiment, water (eg, the medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid composition) that has been used to wash the poultry can be recovered and recycled to wash poultry or the apparatus or plant used to transport or process poultry. In this mode, the water can be treated in such a way that it does not transfer unwanted microbes to the poultry, the apparatus, or the plants that are washed with the recycled washing water. The non-transfer of unwanted microbes can be completed using a recycled composition that is free of pathogenic microorganisms, that is free of fecal coliform organisms, or free of both. Non-transfer of unwanted microbes may include reducing the contamination (eg, physical, chemical, or microbiological contamination) of the recycled composition to prevent adulteration of the product. Non-transfer of unwanted microbes may include reduction of contamination (eg, physical contamination), chemical or microbiological) of the recycled composition to prevent contamination or adulteration of the product. The water can be treated by adding a concentrated medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid composition, filtering or straining the water, and / or treating it with light. The method for recycling the poultry washing water therefore includes the reuse of the poultry washing water for washing poultry, for example, as previously described. In one embodiment, the method for recycling water from flushing poultry (eg, the medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid composition) includes the use of wash water recovered from one or more washing procedures in a previous washing procedure in the processing of poultry. For example, the present method may include the recovery of wash water from poultry cooling by immersion; water treatment; and the use of treated water in at least one of scalding by submerging, flushing, flushing the bird from the inside out, and flushing. For example, the present method may include the recovery of wash water from flushing poultry; water treatment; and the use of water treated in at least one of scalding by submerging, flushing plucking, washing birds from the inside out. For example, the present method may include the recovery of wash water from poultry washing poultry from the inside out; water treatment; and the use of treated water in at least one of blanching by submersion, and plucking rinsing. For example, the present method may include the recovery of flushing water from flushing fowl poultry; water treatment; and using water treated in scalded by submersion. In one embodiment, the method of recycling poultry washing water (eg, the deposition of medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid) includes the use of wash water recovered from one or more washing procedures for washing appliances in the processing of poultry, plants or parts of the plant itself (eg, floors, walls, exterior pavement, or the like).

Test Methods for Reducing the Microbial Population in Poultry The spray application of an antimicrobial composition of the invention can be tested and shown to significantly reduce contamination by pathogenic bacteria in samples of poultry carcasses. Channel samples can be contaminated with, for example, Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 13311, Escherichia coli Serotype O157: H7 ATCC 43895, or Listeria monocytogenes (Petite Scott A) ATCC 49594. The identities of these bacteria can be confirmed based on the reactions of Gram stain, microscopic morphology and growth characteristics using appropriate selective medium. These strains can be grown in culture, by conventional techniques, and adjusted to produce, for example, > 107 colony forming units per milliliter (CFU / mL). Channel samples can be prepared by inoculating the exterior of a thawed piece of chicken skin with an adequate volume of pathogen culture. The leather box can be pressed to form a bowl, and allowing the culture to be placed in this bowl, for example, 5 minutes to allow the adherence of the bacteria. After adhesion, the culture of the skin sample can be removed and each sample can be placed on a metal support, with the epidermal / inoculated side up. The skin sample can therefore be sprayed with an antimicrobial composition. For use, the composition can be diluted to, for example, 200 ± 10 ppm of the total medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid. Samples of poultry carcasses can be sprayed with the composition for, for example, 15 seconds at 4,218 kg / cm 2 and room temperature. After spraying, the skin samples can be removed aseptically and placed inside the solution that includes the agent that inactivates peroxycarboxylic acids without killing bacteria. The remaining bacteria can be suspended by vortex and can be placed in the form of plates and serial dilutions of this solution for the growth of the bacteria. Dilutions can be prepared using dilution water with phosphate pH regulator (PBDW). The plates of S. typhimurium and L. monocytogenes can be incubated at 37 ° C for 48 hours. The plates of E. coli O157: H7 can be incubated at 37 ° C for 24 hours. For each sample, the number of colony forming units per skin box can be calculated. Analysis of the numbers of bacteria in the skin samples can demonstrate that the spray applications of the antimicrobial composition of the invention significantly reduce the levels of, for example, Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli, and Listeria monocytogenes. The application of submersion of an antimicrobial composition of the invention can be tested and show a significant reduction in contamination by bacterial pathogens in samples of poultry carcasses. The bacteria can be selected and cultured generally as previously described, except that the bacteria can be diluted, for example, > 106 colony forming units per milliliter (CFU / mL) to inoculate channel samples. Channel samples can be prepared by thawing wings and frozen chicken livers. Thawed samples can be inoculated by immersing them in bacteria suspension. Other surfaces may not be inoculated. The inoculated surface can be marked for identification and allowed to drain and left for 5 minutes at room temperature. The antimicrobial composition can be as previously described. The use solution can be diluted to, for example, 30 ppm of total medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid. The antimicrobial agent can be applied by immersing the inoculated and non-inoculated surfaces, for example, for 60 minutes in the same 2 liters of a solution using the antimicrobial agent at 4 ° C. The same experiment can be carried out using water without the antimicrobial agent. After submerging, the inoculated and non-inoculated surfaces can be removed from the solution of use of the antimicrobial agent or water and stirred gently in a solution that includes an agent that inactivates the peroxycarboxylic acids without killing the bacteria. To remove and analyze the inoculated surfaces it may be necessary to measure the cross-contamination of bacteria from the inoculated surfaces. Serial dilutions of this solution can be placed in the form of plates for the growth of bacteria as previously described in Example 2. The logarithm of the cross-contamination reduction can be calculated already being the logarithm of the number of bacteria on non-inoculated surfaces submerged in the antimicrobial use solution of the logarithm of a number of surviving bacteria from non-inoculated surfaces submerged in water. Analysis of the number of bacteria in channel samples can demonstrate that the application of submersion of the antimicrobial composition of the invention significantly reduces the levels of, for example, Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli, and Listeria monocytogenes. The medium chain waterborne peroxycarboxylic acid antimicrobial compositions can be used for spraying or submerging in diseased chicken carcasses and can provide a reduction of, for example, total aerobic bacteria, coliform bacteria, and Escherichia coli. The fresh collected chicken carcasses can be sprayed or submersed in an antimicrobial composition previously described. The solutions for use, the dew time and pressure, and the submersion temperature and the duration can be as previously described. Some channels can be either sprayed or submerged. The control channels can be untreated.
Each channel can therefore be placed in a collection bag using freshly placed gloves. In the bag, the channel can be rinsed with Butterfield Phosphate Diluent (BPD) and the BPD solution can be collected for microbiology testing. Known standard procedures, for quantifying, for example, total aerobic bacteria, coliform bacteria, and Escherichia coli may be employed. The analysis of the numbers of bacteria in the channel samples can demonstrate that the spray, the submersion, and the application of a combination of the antimicrobial composition of the inversion significantly reduces the levels of, for example, total aerobic bacteria, coliform bacteria, and Escherichia coli.

Suitable surfactants include anionic surfactant, cationic surfactant, amphoteric surfactant, zwitterionic surfactant, mixtures thereof, or the like. Suitable microemulsion forming surfactants include anionic surfactant, cationic surfactant, amphoteric surfactant, zwitterionic surfactant, mixtures thereof, or the like. Suitable microemulsion forming surfactants include an anionic surfactant. A microemulsion forming surfactant can form a microemulsion in a composition that includes a medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid, a medium chain carboxylic acid, or a mixture thereof. In one embodiment, the composition herein includes microemulsion. In one embodiment, the composition herein can be determined as a microemulsion by testing the composition to make a viscoelastic shear thinning fluid or gel having a blue-blue appearance. Although not limited to the present invention, the tendal blue appearance is believed to indicate a heterogeneous system of a small, suspended dispersion (e.g., a microemulsion), which is effective to diffuse blue light. In one embodiment, the composition of the present can be determined as a microemulsion by testing the ability to form a physically stable composition at different concentrations of surfactant solubilizer. A microemulsion can produce a curve with a maximum of physical stability at a concentration with unstable compositions at higher and lower concentrations. Typically, solvent mixtures of surfactants (eg, acetic acid and surfactant) do not form microemulsions. In one embodiment, the composition that includes a surfactant solubilizer solubilizer is in the form of a gel or viscoelastic liquid. By increasing the concentration of the medium chain carboxylic acid, medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid, or mixtures thereof, the degree to which the composition is a gel or viscoelastic liquid can be increased. By increasing the concentration of the surfactant solubilizer, the degree to which the composition is a gel or viscoelastic liquid can be increased. In one embodiment, the gel can be viscoelastic enough to maintain its molded shapes. An alkylbenzene sulfonate surfactant (e.g., LAS) may be employed to form a gel or viscoelastic liquid that can maintain its molded shape. In one embodiment, the alkylbenzene sulfonate surfactant containing a viscoelastic gel can maintain its shape even at 60 ° C. Although not limited to the present invention, the compositions herein can include medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid sequestered in the surfactant of the microemulsion. This can stabilize peroxycarboxylic acid by keeping it away from impurities or reducing agents in bulk water. This can increase the production of peroxycarboxylic acid by removing it from the solution. Although not limited to the present invention, it is believed that an explanation for the viscoelastic properties of the gels of the compositions herein is that they revert to repulsive forces between the dispersions / droplets that are stabilized by the microemulsion-forming surfactant. Tensoactive agents that are charged can increase electrostatic repulsion. Suitable charged surfactants include anionic surfactants. In one embodiment, the composition of the present invention includes anionic surfactant and other surfactant agents or agents.

Amphoteric Surfactants Amphoteric surfactants, or ampholytic agents, contain a hydrophilic group, both basic and acid, and an organic hydrophobic group. These ionic entities may be any of the anionic or cationic groups described herein for other types of surfactants. A basic nitrogen and an acid carboxylate group are the typical functional groups employed as the basic hydrophilic and acidic groups. In some surfactants, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphonate or phosphate provide the negative charge. Amphoteric surfactants can be broadly described as derivatives of secondary and tertiary aliphatic amines, wherein the aliphatic radical can be straight or branched chain and wherein one of the aliphatic substituents contains from about 8 to 18 carbon atoms and one contains a anionic water solubilizing group, for example, carboxy, sulfo, sulfate, phosphate, or phosphono. Amphoteric surfactants can be subdivided into two main classes known to those skilled in the art and described in "Surfactant Encyclopedia" Cosmetics &Toiletries, Vol. 104 (2) 69-71 (1989). The first class includes acyl / dialkyl ethylenediamine derivatives (e.g., 2-alkyl hydroxyethyl imidazoline derivatives) and their salts. The second class includes N-alkylamino acids and their salts, some amphoteric surfactants can be contemplated as being adjusted in both classes. Amphoteric surfactants can be synthesized by methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, 2-alkyl hydroxyethyl imidazoline is synthesized through a condensation and ring closure of a long chain carboxylic acid (or a derivative) with dialkyl ethylenediamine. Commercial amphoteric surfactants are derivatized through subsequent hydrolysis at the ring opening of the imidazoline via alkylation, for example with chloroacetic acid or ethyl acetate. During the alkylation, one or two carboxy-alkyls reacts to form a tertiary amine and an ether bond with different alkylating agents producing different tertiary amines. The long chain imidazoline derivatives having application in the present invention generally have the general formula:
(MONO) ACETATE (DI) PROPIONATE SULFONATO ANFOTERICO
pH Neutral - Zwiterion
wherein R is an acyclic hydrophobic group containing from about 8 to 18 carbon atoms and M is a cation to neutralize the charge of the anion, generally sodium. Amphoteric commercially prominent imidazoline derivatives that can be employed in the compositions herein include, for example: cocoanfopropionate, cocoanfocarboxypropionate, cocoanfoglycinate, cocoanfocarboxyglycinate, cocoanopropyl sulfonate, and cocoanfocarboxypropionic acid. The amphocarboxylic acids can be produced from fatty imidazolines, wherein the functionality of the dicarboxylic acid of the amphodicarboxylic acid is diacetic acid and / or dipropionic acid. The carboxymethylated compounds (glycinates) described herein above are frequently referred to as betaines. The botainas are a special class of amphotericites discussed later in the section entitled, Zwiterións Tensoactivos Agents. The N-alkyl long chain amino acids are easily prepared through the reaction of RNH2, wherein R = straight or branched chain alkyl of 8 to 18 carbon atoms, fatty amines with halogenated carboxylic acids. Alkylation of the primary amino groups of an amino acid leads to secondary and tertiary amines. The alkyl substituents may have additional amino groups that provide more than one center of reactive nitrogen.

Zwitterionic Surfactants Zwitterionic surfactants can be considered as a subgroup of amphoteric surfactants and can include an anionic charge. Zwitterionic surfactants can be broadly described as secondary and tertiary amine derivatives, derivatives of heterocyclic secondary and tertiary amines, or derived from quaternary ammonium, quaternary phosphonium compounds and tertiary sulfonium. Typically, a zwitterionic surfactant includes a positively charged quaternary ammonium or, in some cases, a sulfonium or phosphonium ion; a carboxyl group of negative charge; and an alkyl group. Zwitterionic surfactants generally contain cationic and anionic groups, which ionize to an almost equal degree in the isoelectric region of the molecule and which can develop a strong "inner salt" attraction between the positive and negative charge centers. Examples of such zwitterionic synthetic surfactants include derivatives of aliphatic, phosphonium and sulfonium quaternary ammonium compounds, wherein the aliphatic radicals can be straight or branched chain, and wherein one of the aliphatic substituents contains from 8 to 18 carbon atoms and one contains an anionic water solubilizing group, for example, carboxy, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphate, or phosphonate. The betaine and sultaine surfactants are illustrative zwitterionic surfactants for use herein. A general formula of these compounds is:
wherein R 1 contains an alkyl, alkenyl, or hydroxyalkyl radical of 8 to 18 carbon atoms, having from 0 to 10 portions of ethylene oxide and 0 to 1 glyceryl; And it is selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur atoms; R2 is an alkyl or monohydroxyalkyl group, containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms; x is 1 when Y is a sulfur atom and 2 when Y is a nitrogen or phosphorus atom, R3 is an alkylene or hydroxyalkylene or hydroxyalkylene of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and Z is a radical selected from the group consisting of groups carboxylate, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphonate, and phosphate. Examples of zwitterionic surfactants having the structures listed above include: 4- [N, N-di (2-h idroxyethyl) -N-octadecylammonium] -butan-1-carboxylate; 5- [S-3-h id roxi prop i l- S- exadecil sulfonium] -3-h id roxi penta n-1-sulfate; 3- [P, P-diethyl-P-3,6,9-trloxatetracosanphosphonium] -2-hydroxypropane-1-phosphate; 3- [N, N-d i p rop i I- N -3-d odecoxy-2-hydroxy prop i I ammonium] propan- 1 -f osf ato; 3- (N, N-d i methyl-N-hexadecylammonium) -propan-1-sulfonate; 3- (N, N-dimethyl-N-hexadecylammonio) -2-hydroxy-propan-1-sulfonate; 4- [N, N-di (2 (2-hyd roxy and il) -N (2-h idroxy dodecyl) ammonium or] butan-1-carboxylate; 3- [S-ethyl-S- (3-dodecoxy -2-hydroxypropyl) sulfonium] propan-1-phosphate; 3- [P, P-dimethyl-P-dodecylphospho- or o] -propan-1-phosphonate; and S [N, N-di (3-hydroxypropyl) -N -hexadecylammonium] -2-hydroxy-pentan-1-sulfate The alkyl groups contained in said detergent surfactants can be straight or branched and saturated or unsaturated The zwitterionic surfactant suitable for use in the compositions herein includes a botaina of the general structure:
These surface active agent betaines typically do not exhibit strong cationic or anionic characters at extreme pH values or show reduced water solubility on their isoelectric scale. Unlike "external" quaternary ammonium salts, betaines are compatible with anionics. Examples of suitable betaines include coconut acylamidopropyl dimethyl betaine; hexadecyl dimethyl betaine; acylamidopropyl betaine of 12 to 14 carbon atoms; acylamidohexyldiethyl betaine of 8 to 14 carbon atoms; 4-acylmethylamidodiethylammonium ~ 1-carboxybutane of 14 to 6 carbon atoms; acylamidodimethylbetaine of 16 to 18 carbon atoms; acylamidopentanediethylbetaine of 12-16 carbon atoms; and acylmethylamidodimethylbetaine of 12 to 16 carbon atoms. Sultains useful in the present invention include those compounds having the formula (R (R1) 2N + R2SO3", wherein R is a hydrocarbyl group of 6 to 18 carbon atoms, each R1 typically independently is alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, for example, methyl, and R2 is a hydrocarbyl group of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, for example, an alkylene or hydroxyalkylene group of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, a typical list of zwitterionic classes, and species of these surfactants can be found in the US Patent

For example, a concentrate composition can be diluted, for example with water, to form a composition of use. In one embodiment, a concentrate composition can be diluted to a use solution before being applied to an object. For reasons of economy, the concentrate can be sold and an end user can dilute the concentrate with water or an aqueous diluent to give a use solution. The level of active components in the concentrate composition depends on the intended dilution factor and the desired activity of the medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid compound. In general, a dilution of about 28.35g of fluid to about 75.6 liters of water to about 141.7 grams of fluid to about 3.78 liters of water is used for aqueous antimicrobial compositions. Higher-use dilutions may be used if a high-use temperature (greater than 25 ° C) or an extended exposure time (greater than 30 seconds) is used. At the site of typical use, the concentrate is diluted with a higher proportion of water using commonly available service or current water, mixing the materials at a dilution ratio of about 85.05 to about 567 grams of concentrate per 378.4 liters of water. For example, a use composition may include from about 0.01 to about 4% by weight of a concentrate composition and from about 96 to about 99.99% by weight of diluent; from about 0.5 to about 4% by weight of a concentrate composition and from about 96 to about 99.5% by weight of diluent; from about 0.5, about 1, about 1.5, about 2, about 2.5, about 3, about 3.5, or about 4% by weight of a concentrate composition; from about 0.01 to about 0.1% by weight of a concentrate composition; or about 0.01, about 0.02, about 0.03, about 0.04, about 0.05, about 0.06, about 0.07, about 0.08, about 0.09, or about 0.1% by weight of a concentrate composition.
The amounts of an ingredient in a composition of use can be calculated from the amounts listed above for concentrate compositions and these dilution factors. The methods of the present invention can employ medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid at an effective concentration to reduce the population of one or more microorganisms. Said effective concentrations include from about 2 to about 500 ppm of medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid, from about 2 to about 300 ppm of medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid, from about 5 to about 100 ppm of medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid, from about 5 to about about 60 ppm of medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid, from about 5 to about 45 ppm of medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid, from about 5 to about 35 ppm of medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid, from about 5 to about 25 ppm of peroxycarboxylic acid chain medium, from about 8 to about 50 ppm of medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid, from about 10 to about 500 ppm of medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid, from about 10 to about 50 ppm of medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid, from about 40 to about 140 ppm of medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid, from about 100 to about 250 ppm of medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid, or from about 200 to about 300 ppm of medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid.

The level of reactive species, such as peroxycarboxylic acids and / or hydrogen peroxide, in a use composition can be affected, typically decreased, by the organic matter that is in or added to the composition of use. For example, when the composition of use is a bath or spray used to wash an object, the earth on the object may consume the peroxy acid and the peroxide. In this manner, the amounts of the present ingredients in the compositions of use refer to the composition before or near use, it being understood that the amounts will decrease as organic matter is added to the composition of use. In one embodiment, the composition of use herein can be made more acidic by passing the concentrate through an acidification column, or by adding additional acidulant to the use composition.

The aqueous phase, which includes hydrogen peroxide, is advantageously retained in the device. The ventilated gas includes an effective amount of antimicrobial agent making the densified fluid peroxycarboxylic acid compositions effective antimicrobial agents. Due to the high nature of the pressure of the densified fluid compositions of the invention, these compositions are typically applied by venting a container containing the composition through a pressure release device that is designed to promote rapid efficient coverage of an object . Devices including said pressure relief device include sprinklers, nebulizers, foaming agents, foam pad applicators, brush applicators, or any other device that can allow the expansion of fluid materials from high pressure to ambient pressure, while the material is applied to an object. The peroxycarboxylic acid composition of densified fluid can also be applied to an object through any of a variety of known methods for applying gaseous agents to an object. The antimicrobial compositions of densified fluid can be made by reacting an oxidizable substrate with an oxidizing agent in a medium comprising a densified fluid to form an antimicrobial composition. This reaction is typically carried out in a container suitable for containing a densified fluid. The reaction may include adding to the container the oxidizable substrate and the oxidizing agent, and adding fluid to the container to form the densified fluid.

In one embodiment, high levels of the medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid can be obtained almost instantaneously. High levels of medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid can be obtained by converting 20% or more, 25% or more, 30% or more, 35% or more, or 40% of the medium chain carboxylic acid to the medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid. Such conversions can be achieved at room temperature or in a reaction initiated at room temperature and heated through an exotherm. Lower temperatures may require a longer time to reach the same amount of conversion. The amount of time is typically measured from the time when the carboxylic acid, oxidizing agent, solubilizer, and acidifier are combined or reacted. For example, in one embodiment, the method herein can convert 20% or more of the medium chain carboxylic acid to medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid in about 24 or fewer hours. For example, in one embodiment, the method herein can convert about 25% or more of the medium chain carboxylic acid to the medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid in about 24 or fewer hours.

For example, in one embodiment, the method herein can convert about 40% of the medium chain carboxylic acid to the medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid in about 24 or fewer hours. In one embodiment, the manufacture of the compositions herein includes forming a microemulsion.

Components can be added in any of a variety of orders. In one embodiment, the formation of the medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid can proceed rapidly after the addition of the microemulsion forming surfactant.

Formation of Illustrative Compositions Table 6 shows the rapid generation of peroxyoctanoic acid achieved to make the KK composition.
Table 6 - Peroxioctanoic Acid Generation with Time at Ambient Temperature and at 48.8 ° C (Composition KK)
When a high level of sulfuric acid was used as the acidulant (Examples including B, E, O, and Q), a strong exotherm was obtained, and the medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid was generated rapidly, for example, virtually in instantaneous way For some of these compositions, the sulfuric acid needed to be added slowly and with cooling to keep the temperature below 76.6 ° C or below 48.8 ° C. Said formulas that can generate medium chain peroxycarboxylic acids, quickly or almost instantaneously, can be used for on-site generation at the location of use. Peroxyoctanoic acid concentrations reported in the examples herein were determined through a well-established and standardized titration protocol. First, the content of hydrogen peroxide was determined through an oxidation-reduction titration with ceric sulfate. After reaching the end point of this titration, an excess of potassium iodide was added to the solution. Potassium iodide reacts with peroxycarboxylic acids to release iodine. The released iodine was titrated with a standard solution of sodium thiosulfate to produce the concentration of peroxycarboxylic acid. The remaining level of carboxylic acid can be calculated. The octanoic acid employed in the examples herein was obtained from sources including Procter & Gamble Chemicals and include a minimum of 95% octanoic acid with minor amounts of hexanoic acid (approximately 2%), decanoic acid (approximately 2%), and dodecanoic acid (< 0.5%).
Example 2 - Stability of Compositions Including Middle Chain Peroxycarboxylic Acid and Solvent The compositions according to the present invention were evaluated and demonstrated physical stability and advantageous stability of the medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid.
Materials and Methods Several of the medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid compositions of the present were evaluated for the stability of the medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid. A sealed container, including the composition, was placed in an oven at an elevated temperature or left at room temperature for a period of time. Temperatures and times are reported in the tables below. One week at 60 ° C can be considered equivalent to one year at room temperature (RT). The amount of peroxycarboxylic acid was determined by titration. Several of the medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid compositions herein were also evaluated for physical stability. The samples were visually inspected at intervals where the level of peroxycarboxylic acid was also determined.
Results The results obtained for stability determinations of medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid and physical stability are reported later in Tables 7 and 8. The results presented in Table 7 for the compositions M and N, indicate that the stability of the Medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid was reduced when the phosphoric acid was increased from 25% to 35%. This suggests that compositions that include a solvent-solubilizer are susceptible to degradation caused by impurities present in the technical grade phosphoric acid. The results presented in Table 8, specifically the appearance of Tyndall blue, indicate that each of these compositions was in the form of a microemulsion. An accelerated aging study of a mixed peroxycarboxylic acid composition demonstrated that the peroxyoctanoic acid in a mixed peracid composition underwent significant degradation at 60 ° C in 7 days. After 7 days, three samples experienced 20, 23, and 54% degradation. The microemulsion compositions were less susceptible to degradation by impurities. For example, compositions KK and LL included technical grade phosphoric acid and exhibited good stability. In contrast, if phosphoric acid is to be used in conventional peroxycarboxylic acid formulations, a high degree of purity is required to avoid unacceptable degradation. Compositions A, B, C, D, and E were two-phase compositions.

Present that include Peroxycarboxylic Chain and Solubilizing Acid The compositions according to the present invention were evaluated and demonstrated advantageous antimicrobial activity against microbes such as gram negative bacteria, gram positive bacteria, fungi, spores, viruses and mycobacteria.
Materials and methods The antimicrobial activity was determined according to two well-established methods. The first method was the procedure established in Germicidal and Detergent Sanitizing Action of Disinfectants, Official Methods of Analysis of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists, paragraph 960.09 and applicable sections, 15th Edition, 1990 (EPA Guideline 91-2). The second method was the procedure described in A.O.A.C. Use Dilution Methods, Official Methods of Analysis of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists, paragraph 955.14 and applicable sections, 15th Edition, 1990 (EPA Guideline 91-2). In summary, the antimicrobial activity of the compositions herein was determined by exposing an aliquot of one ml containing the target microorganism to 99 ml of the desired concentration of the test substance at the desired temperature. After the specified contact time, one ml of the test solution containing the microorganism was neutralized and the survivors were enumerated. The hospital disinfecting efficacy of the compositions herein was determined by drying the target microorganism on a stainless steel vehicle and exposing the vehicle to 10 ml of the desired concentration of the test composition at the desired temperature for the specified contact time. Thereafter, the vehicle was transferred aseptically to a neutralized r / sub-culture medium. The antiviral activity against Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 was determined by known procedures. In summary: Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 was dried on a glass surface. The virus film was exposed to the test substance for 10 minutes at room temperature. Then, the film mixture and the test substance were subjected to gel filtration to separate small molecules from the virus particles. The recovered virus was analyzed for infectious ability through an accepted assay method. The antiviral activity against Polio Virus Type 1 was determined by known methods. In summary: Type 1 Polio Virus was dried on a glass surface. The virus film was exposed to the test substance for 5 minutes at room temperature. Then, the film mixture and the test substance were subjected to gel filtration to separate small molecules from the virus particles. The recovered virus was analyzed for infectious ability through an accepted assay method.
Results Tables 12-21 include data showing that the medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid compositions of the present had antimicrobial activity when tested against bacteria, fungi and spores in several different types of tests. The data presented in Table 12 demonstrate that the compositions of the present exhibited significant antimicrobial activity when diluted with a diluent at a pH of less than 4. The efficacy was not as great if the composition was diluted and then the pH was brought to less than or equal to 4. These results illustrate that the compositions herein with significant levels of acidulant exhibited, under certain circumstances, advantageous activity. The data presented in Table 13 demonstrate that the compositions herein exhibited significant antimicrobial activity at a pH of 2.6 to 3.5. These results indicate that at a pH of 6.1, 11 ppm of peroxyoctanoic acid (POOA) are still effective in reducing S. aureus by one > 7.04 log The data presented in Table 14 demonstrate that the efficacy of this composition was not as great against E. coli if diluted and, then, the pH was brought to less than 4. The data presented in Table 15 demonstrate that the compositions of the present exhibited an important antimicrobial activity. All tested formulas obtained reductions of > 5 log of Escherichia coli in 30 seconds at 0.069%, when diluted in 500 ppm of synthetic hard water Also, these compositions obtained a complete annihilation reduction of (> 7 log) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 30 seconds to 0.082% when diluted in 500 ppm of synthetic hard water The combination of the upper pH and lower ppm in a composition may have contributed to the lower log reduction.
The data presented in Table 16 demonstrate that the compositions herein exhibited significant antimicrobial activity against various fungi and bacteria. The compositions herein exhibited a broad spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi at low levels of medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid. These results indicate that composition 106 is more effective than DD composition. Composition BB achieved higher reductions of A. niger and P. aeruginosa at similar levels of peroxycarboxylic acid. The data presented in Table 17 demonstrate that the compositions herein exhibited an important antimicrobial activity against various fungi and several bacteria. The data presented in Table 18 demonstrate that one of the compositions of the present (KK) exhibited significant antimicrobial activity against E. Coli 0157: H7, S. typhimurium and L. monocytogenes. This composition achieved more than 99.999% reduction in an exposure time of 30 seconds. The data presented in Table 19 demonstrate that the compositions of the present exhibited significant antimicrobial activity against several bacteria in a hospital disinfectant test. The hospital disinfectant test measures whether the composition wiped out all the microbes in a stainless steel vehicle. A composition listed as 10/10 wiped out all the bacteria in each of the 10 vehicles. Likewise, a result of 60/60 indicates that a composition annihilated all the bacteria in each of the 60 vehicles. These results present a major challenge for an antimicrobial agent since it requires activity in the presence of 5% fetal bovine serum. Therefore, it indicates that the compositions herein were effective as a hospital disinfectant in the presence of blood stains. The data presented in Table 20 demonstrate that one of the compositions herein exhibited superior antimicrobial activity against several bacteria in a hospital disinfectant test compared to a conventional commercially available antimicrobial agent. The hospital disinfectant test measures whether the composition wiped out all the microbes in a particular vehicle. The composition according to the present invention, A-O, passed the hospital disinfectant test, with complete annihilation in 59 of 60 vehicles. The conventional antimicrobial agent (containing hydrogen peroxide as active) did not pass the test. There was complete annihilation in only 58 of 60 vehicles. These results indicate that in the presence of fetal bovine serum and when diluted in synthetic hard water, the composition of the present was more effective than the commercially available hospital disinfectant. The data presented in Table 21 demonstrate that the compositions of the present exhibited significant antimicrobial activity against bacterial spores. Bacterial spores are difficult to annihilate. These results indicate that at elevated temperatures, the effectiveness of the compositions herein increased, which provides effective annihilation at reduced contact times. The data presented in Table 22 demonstrate that the compositions herein exhibited superior antimicrobial activity against bacterial spores, compared to conventional peroxide and peroxycarboxylic acid antimicrobials. The composition of the present resulted in greater annihilation at equal or lower concentrations of the antimicrobial active. These results indicate that the compositions herein exhibited superior antimicrobial activity compared to conventional antimicrobials. The data presented in Table 23 demonstrate that the compositions herein exhibited an effective antimicrobial activity against Mycobacterium bovis. The composition of the present (B) provided complete annihilation of M. bovis BCG at dilutions of 28.35 grams per 15.13 liters and 28.35 grams per 22.70 liters with exposure times as short as 6 minutes. These results indicate that the compositions of the present invention can be employed as a tuberculocidal agent. Tests against Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 resulted in complete annihilation of this virus. The virus was dried on a hard surface. The virus on the hard surface was contacted for 10 minutes with composition B diluted at 28.35 grams per 22.70 liters or 28.35 grams per 30.27 liters. Both dilutions resulted in complete annihilation, a reduction greater than 5.3 log in the virus. Viruses and cells survived in appropriate controls. These results indicate that the compositions herein are effective virucides. Tests against Polio Virus Type 1 resulted in an almost complete annihilation of this virus. The virus was dried on a hard surface. The virus on the hard surface was contacted for 10 minutes with the LL composition diluted at 28.35 grams by 3.78 liters or 28.35 grams by 1.89 liters. Dilution from 28.35 grams to 3.78 liters completely killed the polio virus in 5 different titrations, did not kill any virus at the highest titration, and resulted in incomplete annihilation at the second and third highest titers. This dilution exhibited a 1.5 log reduction in virus titration. The dilution of 28.35 grams to 1.89 liters completely annihilated the polio virus to all the tested titrations. This dilution resulted in a reduction of >; 4 log in the virus titration. Viruses and cells survived in appropriate controls. These results indicate that the compositions herein are general effective virucides. The data presented in Table 24 demonstrate that the compositions herein exhibited an antimicrobial activity superior to that of the compositions including synthetic medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid that had been added to a composition. A better efficiency was found in the solutions with the lowest pH, which were made with Milli-Q water. The 60 ppm sample almost achieved a 5 log reduction in 30 seconds. However, these data indicate that the pH of the test solution may be more important than the ppm of active POOA. The data presented in Table 25 demonstrate that the compositions herein exhibited an antimicrobial activity superior to that of the compositions including synthetic medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid that had been added to a composition. These data further suggest that POOA exhibited a higher activity against Escherichia coli, at a pH of -4.0 and at a concentration > 5 ppm no matter what diluent was used. Against Staphilococcus aureus POOA achieved reductions of 5 log at a concentration of 5 ppm and at a pH of -5. There was no difference between the reductions seen in Milli-Q water and soft water for any organism.

Table 26, continued - Examples of Compositions including Surfactant-Surfactant
Table 26, continued - Examples of Compositions Including Surfactant-Surfactant
In the AS-AW compositions, the medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid was peroxioctanoic acid and peroxynonanoic acid and the medium chain carboxylic acid was octanoic acid and nonanoic acid; nonanoic acid (as isononanoic acid (which is believed to be a 6-carbon main chain with three pending methyl groups)) was present at 0.5, 1, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3% by weight for AS-AW, respectively. In each of the compositions AX-AZ and BC-BF: the medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid was peroxyoctanoic acid; the medium chain carboxylic acid was octanoic acid; the vehicle was water; the oxidizing agent was hydrogen peroxide (supplied from a 35% solution); the stabilizing agent was HEDP (supplied as Dequest 2010, which includes 60% by weight of HEDP); and the acidulant was phosphoric acid (supplied as 75% phosphoric acid).

Compositions including LAS, secondary alkan sulfonate, alkylated diphenyl oxide disulfunate, or sodium lauryl sulfate as a solubilizer were foaming compositions. Specifically, compositions AB and CA are foaming compositions. Most compositions were stable phase. In particular: The compositions AX and AY were determined as being of stable phase at 60 ° C. For example, several of the compositions for which the% by weight of medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid was not determined (nd) were not stable phase. That is, they separated in more than one phase after a predetermined time to one or more of (for example, at least one) 4.4 ° C, room temperature, 37.7 ° C, or 60 ° C. Peroxyoctanoic acid concentrations reported in the examples herein were determined through a well-established and standardized titration protocol. First, the content of hydrogen peroxide was determined through an oxidation-reduction titration with potassium permanganate. After reaching the end point of this titration, an excess of potassium iodide was added to the solution. Potassium iodide reacts with peroxycarboxylic acids to release iodine. The iodine released was fused with a standard solution of sodium thiosulfate to produce the concentration of peroxycarboxylic acid. The remaining level of carboxylic acid can be (and was). calculated. The peroxycarboxylic acid was fused at a time after the formulation was practiced in the laboratory. For example, peroxycarboxylic acid was titrated for the compositions AB, AD, AE, AF, AG, AH, AK, AL, AO, AP, AQ, AU, AV, AZ, BC "and BD after the sample was saturated at room temperature for 0.2 (BD), or 3 (AP, AU and AV) days. For example, peroxycarboxylic acid was titrated for the CA and BG-BK compositions after the sample was saturated at 37.7 ° C for 4 days (CA) or 7 days (BG-BK). For example, peroxycarboxylic acid was titrated for the compositions Al, AN, AR BE and BF after the sample was saturated at 60 ° C for 1 day (Al, AR, and BE) or 4 days (AN and BF) . For composition AB, no decomposition of peroxycarboxylic acid was observed after aging of the composition for 7 days at 60 ° C. For the CA composition, no decomposition of the peroxycarboxylic acid was observed after aging the composition for 34 days at 37.7 ° C. Other compositions were also observed and included stable peroxycarboxylic acid. The octanoic acid employed in the examples herein was obtained from sources, including Procter & amp;; Gamble Chemicals and includes a minimum of 95% octanoic acid with minor amounts of hexanoic acid (approximately 2%), decanoic acid (approximately 0.2%) and dodecanoic acid (< 0.5%).

The evaluated fragrances included Green Meadow (Klabin); Vinegar Mask I (J &E Sozio); Vinagar Mask II (J &E Sozio); amyl acetate; iso-bornyl acetate; and methyl salicylate. The CA composition included fragrance (1% by weight), specifically an apple-mint fragrance, which is believed to be or includes an alkyl salicylate. The CA composition was altered and included 10% by weight LAS and remained in the individual phase at 4.4 ° C, room temperature and 21.1 ° C
Foaming The results in Table 27 show that the medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid composition of the present produced a foam with desirable qualities. This study used a "FOAM IT" tank skimmer set to produce slightly wet foam, 2 turns from the midpoint. The foam was dispensed from the use composition at 35-36.6 ° C. The foam was sprayed on a vertical stainless steel surface (approximately 4.57 m by 4.57 m) from a distance of about 3048 mt. The results of Table 27 demonstrate that the compositions herein provided a foam with desirable hanging time and density. Each of the compositions tested at 28.35 g / 22.70 liters provided a foam with desirable characteristics, such as that the rupture foam was visible for about 5 min, the foam drained well from the vertical surface, exhibited good surface lamination vertical, and dried uniformly until there is no visible residue.
